QT Sydney’s restorers score design gong

It took three years to finish restoration of the State Theatre and Gowings building, home to QT Sydney.

The architects responsible for the restoration of QT Sydney’s building have won a major industry award for their work.

Woodhead (project architect) and Graham Brooks and Associates (heritage architect) received the ‘Francis Greenway Restoration Award’ from the NSW Chapter of the Australian Institute of Architect’s for their overall restoration work on the Gowings and State Theatre buildings.

Group managing director of QT Hotels & Resorts, David Seargeant, said: “The gothic features of the Palazzo-style Gowings Building, originally designed by renowned architect Crawford H Mackellar, have been thoughtfully returned to their former glory.”
